Connecticut Field Pumpkin – The "Original Heritage" Giant for Massive Harvests and Classic Fall Displays
Shop the highest quality Connecticut Field Pumpkin seeds for a piece of American history in your own backyard. When it comes to the true "founding father" of the pumpkin patch, Connecticut Field is the "All-Time Legend." This pre-1700s heirloom was grown by Native Americans and early settlers alike, prized for its large, 15-to-25-pound fruits and its beautiful, deep-orange ribbed skin. At The Seed Guy, we recommend this variety because it is the premier choice for gardeners who want a "heavyweight harvest" that looks exactly like a pumpkin should.
In the garden, Connecticut Field is a vigorous grower, sending out long, sprawling vines that are incredibly productive. These aren't just for show; while they are the gold standard for autumn porch displays, the yellow flesh is also excellent for pies and canning. It is a fantastic companion plant for corn and beans—the classic "Three Sisters" method—where the large leaves act as a living mulch to shade the soil. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination, ensuring you get strong, healthy vines that turn your garden into a golden sea of pumpkins just in time for the harvest moon.

Connecticut Field Pumpkin Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Pumpkins are sun-worshippers! Wait until the soil is thoroughly warm (at least 70°F) and all danger of frost has passed. In most regions, this is late May or early June to ensure a harvest before the first autumn frost.
2. Preparation: These plants are "heavy feeders." Prepare your "hills" by mixing in a generous amount of aged manure or compost. They need plenty of space to roam, so ensure your patch is large enough for the vines to sprawl without crowding.
3. Sowing: Plant 4-5 seeds per hill, 1 inch deep. Once the seedlings are about 3 inches tall, thin them to the two strongest plants. This ensures they have the "elbow room" and nutrients needed to produce massive fruits.
4. Care: Water deeply at the base of the plant, especially during dry spells. Avoid wetting the leaves to prevent mildew. As the pumpkins grow, you can gently place a piece of cardboard or a flat stone under the fruit to prevent ground rot and keep the skin uniform.
5. Pests and Diseases: Keep a sharp eye out for Squash Bugs and Cucumber Beetles. To keep your vines healthy, ensure good air circulation and harvest only when the vine begins to wither and the rind is hard enough to resist a fingernail poke.
